Jack Dickson

One-time bass player with Gomorrah and the Sodomites, steward on
the Arran ferry, postman and fashionista, Jack works and lives in
the east end of Glasgow with his partner and his Jack Russell,
Dixie. His Jas Anderson Investigates series of gay noir crime
novels are currently changing hands for £30 on Ebay (or 1p on
Amazon). His episodes of BBC Scotland's River
City are still talked about in hushed tones and his debut
stage play, Princess for a Day (directed by
Peter Arnott ) reduced several members of an
Òran Mór lunchtime audience to
tears.

Undeterred by any of this, Jack continues to shamelessly mine
the world around him as the world's most productive layabout, who
was always urged to get a proper job. And still hasn't.
